How do I automatically track recipe cost changes and margin for a wholesale bakery?
Every Monday, WebRun opens BakeSmart and recalculates the cost of every recipe against current ingredient prices, then cross checks recent purchase costs in QuickBooks to confirm the change is real. It writes a margin report to Google Sheets showing which recipes moved by more than three percent and which wholesale accounts they affect.
- Margin erosion is caught weekly instead of at year end review
- Every flagged cost change is confirmed against real purchase prices
- Affected wholesale accounts and recipes are named, not just a total

Questions, answered
Does it change my prices or recipes automatically?
No. WebRun only reports the cost change. Whether you adjust a wholesale price, swap an ingredient, or absorb the cost is entirely your call.
How does it confirm a price change is real?
It cross checks the new ingredient cost BakeSmart used against your actual recent purchase costs in QuickBooks, so the report reflects real supplier pricing, not a stale catalog price.
Which recipes show up in the report?
Any recipe whose cost moved by more than three percent since the last check, along with the wholesale accounts and standing orders that use it.
